The Space Between Us


This is a wonderful book about two women who live in India. One woman is upper middle class, educated, and the other is her servant, illiterate, hard working, and loyal. It is such an interesting book because it explores the vast difference in both women's world, and yet at the same time tells the story of their lives as women, which ends up being similar. It is a story of how they both survive the hands that are dealt them in life. It is a great book for a book club, as there is so much to discuss and think about. It is also very well written. I was sucked into this book and neglected my children as I consumed this fascinating book.
